Was trying to avoid that as I'm embarrassed to admit I even go there but:

All the sheriffs were great! Too bad all of us were ignored. Hopefully the sheriffs all come together to say they will not enforce any of these laws.

I really thought that POS 196 would not get out of committee. The thought process was that no one is that Fvcking stupid. Wrong, 3/3 are exactly that fvcking stupid. I may be stupid also, but I still have hope that the mag ban, the liability and maybe even the backgrounds won&#39;t pass the senate. And the gall of the governor saying that 1) he isn&#39;t worried that his re-election bid would now be in jeopardy, and 2) that we are a fringe group and not representative of even the republican party. I have news for him. Not only are we representative of the republican party, but we are also made of those from other parties and his loss will be a big one because he has disenfranchised all republicans, most of the middle (libertarians), and even some dems.

The Dem committee members needed to pass through 196 to give vulnerable Dem members something to vote against in the full house

Except they won't vote against it.

They actually believe this crap is some sort of answer to a problem that has nothing to do with any of it.

Does anyone have a list of the new amendments added to HB 1224 and others from yesterday? I'm gonna write another letter to the legislature, but I don't want to look like a jackass and ramble on about something that's already been addressed.

Any talk of effective dates or will it go into law once signed?

July 1st of twenty & thirteen.

Any bill with a "safety clause" goes into effect right away, including 1224. The bill states however that the date for further transfers is 1 July 2013. Just wanted to clear up the reason for the safety clause which is written into the end of the bill.

Not sure about the "goes into effect right away part" as this is what I see:

SECTION 2. Effective date. This act takes effect July 1, 2013.
SECTION 3. Safety clause. The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that this act is necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, and safety.

Ref: http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/cli...le=1224_01.pdf

Then there's this:

"If a bill contains a safety clause (meaning the bill is not subject to the citizens' right to file a referendum petition against it), the bill takes effect on the date specified within it, or if no date is specified, then upon its passage (the date on which the Governor either approves the bill or allows it to become law without his signature)."

Ref: http://www.statescape.com/resources/...ive_dates.aspx


So basically, July 1st, 2013.
